Noob measuring question

Hi.

I am measuring with PC dmis Vision.

I want to measure outer dimensions of a square piece (40x40mm) that was cut with a laser.

I know how to measure a straight line along the edge, but how do you measure the outer points along that line (because edges are never perfect straight lines)?

To clarify this : If I measure my piece with the caliper I get the dimension 40.00mm, but when I measure it with Vision, I get 39,93mm.

I hope this makes any sense....

    The world of filtering is indeed a black box. (much like a metrology software vendor's 'certification' of their product)
    Great link.
    In my world of Optiv 2D Vision, I wish Hexagon went a bit further in the Help file to explain the finer points of filtering. Alas, I am guessing it is
    needed to go get some additional training at one of their facilities........ cha-ching!!
